Zen Vision: M problem with Album Cov

I've read a lot of intructions on these boards about dragging the album cover into the generic icon (after I select "View" and "Albums" in the Media Explorer. Thing is, when I try to drag a picture nothing happens. Next thing I try is to manually copy and paste the album cover into the same generic grey icon and it says that it won't allow it to be viewed in my device and asks me if I just want to drop it in the folder (which does no good). Anyone else solve this problem in the past? Do I have to use a certain type of image file type? I'm using jpgs.
Please help me.
?Also, I am using Windows Vista 32-bit Premium Home Edition. Thanks in advance. I really want my album covers to work, it will be so cool.

I found the easiest way is to do it in Creative Media Source 5, highlight all the tracks in the album you want to apply art to, right click, go to "edit properties", click on the last entry on the bottom, "change album art" and assign the JPG of your choice, then update tags and the album art will show on your player, it has worked 00% for me so far.

  • Problem with Album cover images...

    It doesn't happon to every album, but for some reasion, ill notice that the image for an album will be gone, blank.
    The B** is, i cant always find the picture again, or one with good quality. All i do to add the picture to the song/album is click on the *Album Artwork* box on the bottom left corner and past. (Or if its a group of songs, highlight them, and add it in the *Multiple Item Information*, Artwork box.

    easiest way to do it is to go to album view in iTunes and right click the empty album cover and select 'get album artwork' - but you may have to log into iTunes.
    Otherwise google the album on wikipedia, right click the artwork and copy - then in iTunes right click the album, info, and paste the picture into the artwork block. It is a little work, but you only have to do it once.
    artwork automatically downloads only for albums purchased on iTunes.

  • Zen Vision M - Problem with Scr

    I place my Vision M on locked mode (power button towards the padlock symbol) and use the player for a while. Then when I want to change album or skip a track I will slide the power button back to the middle. At this point the screen does not display properly and it has a washed out grey look with lines of interference at the bottom. Sometimes I cannot actually make anything out on the screen. It does not affect the music and sometimes if I just put it back on hold and then repeat the screen will be perfect.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and should I contact Amazon or Creative? I am willing to put up with the crackling bug that quite a few others are experiencing but since the screen on the VISION :-) was a big selling point I'm not prepared to put up with this.
    Don't know how much longer I can take the iFake jokes from my buddies!! ;-)
    Cheers

  • Creative zen mozaic 4GB, problems with albums

    I have just bought my mozaic, the problem is I put my music in albums, but they are not visible, I can listen to them only as separate songs which is not comfortable as it is more than 700 songs. How to make the albums visible? I would be grateful for any advice. I tried to put them via the programme included and drag and drop but it doesn't work

    My English is not good, but I?ll try to explain the solution of the problem how to connect zen?After 2 hours of torment using 6 computers, my zen mozaic was finally connected!So, the first option:Actually it is idiocy, but the 3 computers were connected to zen after the installation of .. nokia pc suite, but after having installed the program, the player was not found.You need to connect any Nokia phone, and only then, zen will be connected!?This method works, it is checked.As I understood the nokia pc suite adds drivers for the MTP protocol when you install the phone.You can try to update your Windows media player, but I did not try it.
    Method Two, without the need to install nokia pc suiteInstall Creative Centrale.2)Download and install the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c0cafe798955If Windows XP does not pass the authenticity then download from here:http: / / rapidshare.com/files/20233...tppk2.exe.html. This method worked out on 6 computers. After such "dances with tambourine" Creativedisappointed me Enjoy!?

  • Problems with album cover in iTunes

    I have created several songs in Garageband using my own instruments. I added these to Itunes. I also created an albumcover. But I am not allowed to add image to the songs or the album. The image tab is greyed out. Anybody know a quick fix. I have tried to copy and paste, but the image is not showing.

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
    For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
    For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
    At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
    I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

  • Zen vision m - problem with not showing albu

    this is a weird problem i haven't encountered 'till recently, but ... i tried to put some albums onto my player (i use the windows explorer method) and they show up just fine there, and they ARE taking up physical space on the hard disk when i check system on the player, but for some reason, the albums don't show up ANYWHERE inside the player for me to actually play them. so ... any solutions? it's really bugging me.

    I found the easiest way is to do it in Creative Media Source 5, highlight all the tracks in the album you want to apply art to, right click, go to "edit properties", click on the last entry on the bottom, "change album art" and assign the JPG of your choice, then update tags and the album art will show on your player, it has worked 00% for me so far.

  • Zen Vision M problem, album art is not showing

    I am embedding the album art into the ID3v2 tags, as i assumed that it would show up when browsing my albums. But the art is not showing up and i have no idea why.
    I had another problem which seems that my Zen is reading ID3v tags, a lot of my music was not being recognised, even with v2 tags, and was only recognised when i filled in the v tags also. Does anyone have suggestions as to whats going on here? It is a Zen Vision M 30gb, with the latest firmware, and i use Tag & Rename to edit tags and add the art, Im also on Vista if that changes anything.
    Thanks in advance.Message Edited by Ninjabachelor on 0-28-20070:20 PM

    Hi Boxy !
    For now, you can't zoom in the Album Art, but it can be a new feature on a future firmware. To hack it somehow, you have to mess around the system folder which is inaccessible...

  • How do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails?

    how do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails? when I updated my ITunes now all my mp3 files
    that had thumbs have no thumbs...thanks

    First, you have to embbed picture into mp3 file with idtag editors (tagalicious, musicbrainz picard, mp3tag, id3tag editor...).
    Then you'll have to install at least Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if you're not using Itunes at all.
    Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.
    I closed my topic because I solved it :

  • Problems with Album Shuffle

    Hi all.
    I have a problem with Album Shuffle mode. Basically, I am trying to listen to my albums, but it will start treating songs from the same album as being from different albums. I have tried editing the info of the tracks to be identical in every way, I have even used the multiple editing feature, and they are in the same folder in my iTunes Music library. I am stuck with what to do, as I really like the album shuffle feature and don't want to have to manually choose the next album and such. Can you guys help at all? Would be very grateful for any advice

    I tinkered with it a little more, and no idea HOW I fixed it, but it's working now. Maybe had something to do with genres.

  • Please, I need help with this 60GB ZEN Vision: M Problem... ASAP!

    I had to format my computer earlier this morning, and I have to do it again soon, but not before moving all my music files to another computer thanks to my flash dri've. Here's the thing now: My ZEN Vision: M decided to have a firmware problem when I really can't do anything. I have to Reload the Firmware (I believe), so I can update it with the new one. The thing is, I'm not sure if there's a problem here, as I tried connecting it with the USB thing, and said it found no hardware. Alright so... I try doing the Realod Firmware thing, but the firmware doesn't detect the player, and I've already hit Reload Firmware. Now I don't know what's going on with my ZEN and I can't check things out nor can I go install the CDs for the programs/drivers and whatnot,because I'm in a bit of a hurry. I can do it all tomorrow once I get home but I just wanted to know what I have to do, since it's pretty much been quite a while since I last did a firmware update and I don't remember what to do, anyway.
    Anybody willing to help? I'd appreciate it if this wasn't ignored like all my other topics in the last year, where I got little to no help at all. But I have been grateful of those who have helped me before. It's just been so long, really...

    When you connect the player use REAR usb port if desktop. If laptop direct connect to usb port NO HUBS. & At least 50% battery charge on the player. Boot the player in Recovery /Rescue mode then do a Format>cleanup Then connect to computer to see if Windows loads the driver or "sees" the player. If it does then disconnect it &? Open the firmware file & on the player choose reload firmware The screen on the player will prompt you to connect via usb? connect it. Now the Autoplay window may open DO NOT CLOSE IT (ignore it) The firmware file should see the player choose the upgrade & let it run. Good Luck

  • Zen Vision M problem! plz H

    Hey guys... I know alot of people have been having problems with recognizing their ZVM's... and I've read alot of these forums, but I still need help. Here's my problem:
    I bought my Zen Vision M and it immediatly worked. I threw a few albums in there... but I went back to it and it no longer recognized it. In the system it recognized it as properly working so a simple reset and rebuild figured the mess out. I took it on a trip and I came home to charge it and it no longer recognizes the Zen. Windows says its an unknown device and it wont even charge. Its low on batteries right now. Ive tried to reinstall the software and what not. The properties say its not working properly and has something to do with the drivers... I thot a reinstall would help but I got nothing. If anyone could lead me towards a solution Id really appreciate it. I really like the Zen Vision M and wanna get it working again. Thanks...

    my sister is having a similar problem with her ZVM. hopefully a solution is found soon. i heard that going into [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=5530#M5530">recove ry mode [/url]might be helpful, but we havent tried it yet...in the meantime, i think we're just going to call tech support. good luck with your ZVM!

  • Zen Vision:M Problem (Firmware + Recovery Mode) (please un-sti

    (apologies on the sticky, i misclicked!)
    I've had my Zen Vision:M 30GB for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! Unfortunately, while on my New Years vacation this past week I accidentally dropped it after it tangled in my headphones. Immediately afterwards, I started getting the "recovery mode" problem that seems to crop up. Unable to get past this(it booted only once every million-or-so tries), I decided to use the "MP3 recovery tool" from Creative's site
    Unfortunately, it froze up halfway through, and now is giving me a "Hard Disk error". I tried to reformat, and it seemed to wipe it clean...but now it wont even recognize it when I plug it into my USB port to put in new firmware! (The PC recognizes it, but not the Firmware installation)
    I don't know what else I can do....any ideas/help, please?
    (I looked at Creative's support pages, but they only deal with Warranty repairs, which I don't have as it was a gift.) Can they repair/replace a broken non-warranty player, and if so, for how much?
    Or is there another solution I haven't tried yet?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!Message Edited by leova on 0-02-200805:06 PM

  • Zen Vision M problem (30

    My mp3 was working fine, could ocnnect no problems and put videos and music on it ect, then all of the sudden one day i turned it on and it told me i had to rebuild it, i didn't think much of it cause this had occasionally happened to me before..i let it rebuild and i went to look for a specific song and it was gone, i looked for other recent songs i had added from the same artist and cd and they were gone too, along with some other songs. everytime i turned it on from there i got a rebuilding thing, then i tried to watcha? video about a week later and in my list of videos it said thata ll my folders had 0 files in it, but when i went to system info, it said i still had like 25 gigs or so of space taken up from all the videos, but it still had the oflders and info, but no video. when i connect my mp3 player to my PC, it days it is docked and connected, it charges, but my PC will not recognice it. i tried it on my other computer too which i installed the software on when i got it and it would not connect there either. basicly i cant connect my player to add new music/videos, all my videos are what seems to be corrupt, music randomly gets deleted, and i have to "rebuild" everytime i turn on my player. i tried the recovery program today but that too would not detect my player, and people told me when you hold down the reset button you can go into a recovery mode or something and that does not work either...what should i do? is there a way to fix this? or am i screwed and i just need to go get an ipod or something?

  • ZEN Vision:M problem selecting from the men

    Just like the title says, I'm having trouble accessing any of the menus(photos,videos,extras, etc..) from the menu on my ZEN Vision:M. I've tried pressing the touchpad to select a menu option but no luck, I've also tried just pressing the "right" button to enter a sub menu but no luck. I can scroll up and down in the menu and if a song is playing I can also adjust the volume but its like i have no option to select. I downloaded the newest version of firmware by my model, I've tried formating the player but still stuck with the same problem.
    Also, when in recovery mode I cant select any of the options listed in the menu.
    I just bought this Device from DELL.com w/ Extended Service Protection but Im beginning to think I got a defecti've product.
    If anyone could help with this frustration it'd be great
    Thanks for reading.

    I just contacted Dell and I'm returning for a refund. After several more attempts to try and reboot, relaod firmware to try and solve any problem with it I decided to call it quits and just chalk it up to a PoS mp3 player. I have had a 20g Samsung player for 3 years now and have had no problem with it at all. The only thing is that its not compatible with subscription services such as Napster to Go. I think I will look into a new Samsung or something else.
    Good Luck
